"Who could have done this to Noelle? And what's the deal with the owner of The Majestic Lounge? This isn’t looking good for her!" Teresa was beside herself with worry.Rowena felt the same way. She was just about to get up and open the door when it swung open from the outside.The man who stepped in brought a chill to the room. It was as if a storm cloud had passed overhead. Rowena gasped. "Charles?"Charles squinted and did not bother with pleasantries. He strode over to Noelle, lifted her gently, and asked, "Noelle?"Noelle was feeling terrible, her mind foggy. Through the haze, she saw Charles's stern, handsome face looking down at her, his eyes filled with tense worry. She reached out to smooth away his frown, but he caught her hand. "Noelle? Does it hurt?"She nodded. "Charles, is it really you? Did you come for me?""Yes!" Charles nodded, kissed her hand softly, and reassured her, "I'm here now. You're going to be fine."His voice was soothing. After making sure Noelle was

Sean was always on the move, drawn to wherever the action was. He loved to be in the thick of things and never worried about getting too involved. Seeing how upset Charles was today, Sean figured he was really angry. He followed Ronald up to the second-floor hall.The hall was packed with people who had been enjoying themselves at The Majestic Lounge just a while ago. Now, they were all huddled together and upset. They were trying to guess what had caused such a commotion. Even the regulars, who had never been stopped before, were caught up in the security checks. Things were really serious.A few wealthy young men were not used to being treated this way and were loudly demanding an explanation. However, they knew better than to challenge the powerful owner of The Majestic Lounge, so they just grumbled.Annie was too frightened to say much, sticking close to Winter and shaking. "Winter, what are we going to do now?"Winter shot Annie a fierce look. She thought Annie always made thi

"Annie's brother is Cody," Rowena blurted out, a note of worry in her voice. "Just taking her away like that doesn't seem right!"Ronald gave a slight smile. "There's nothing to worry about! Ms. Scott, Ms. Saunders, thank you for handling today's situation." Ronald was unusually polite, which was a bit different from how he normally acted. He was being considerate because he knew they were Noelle's best friends."Oh, it's okay," Rowena said with a wave of her hand. "If everything's settled, can we head out?""Absolutely." Ronald grinned. "I'll have someone escort you two home!""No, that won't be necessary. We'll make our own way back!" Rowena might not always have the best temper, but she knew when to be polite. She understood that Ronald was treating them especially well because of Noelle. Plus, it was obvious Ronald had other things to take care of, so they did not want to bother him. "But could you tell us which hospital Noelle is in? We'd like to go see her.""Madam is with M

Spencer did not deal with Ronald much, but he had to admit the guy was good at getting things done.Spencer cracked a smile. "It's been quite a while. Thanks for asking, Mr. Wells!" He glanced around and then got to the point. "So, what's the deal today?""Oh, we've sorted it all out. It's got nothing to do with your wife," Ronald said with a twinkle in his eye to Spencer. "No worries, Mr. Sabian. We would've sent her home even if you hadn't shown up. But since you're here, I've got something to tell you.""Go ahead, Mr. Wells," Spencer said, his forehead slick with sweat. He could feel the powerful aura of Charles’ people. He was usually a goody-two-shoes, but he had pulled some strings for Yessica so she could brag to her classmates.Ronald let out a small smile. "Mr. Sabian, you're a clever man. Think about it, and you'll figure out why we're here today. The lady of the house might not be involved, but she's the one who invited these guests. You know this can’t happen again, rig

"This woman is quite a skilled actress!"Sean had been watching the whole scene unfold. With a twinkle in his charming eyes, he grinned at Ronald. "Right, Ronald?""Yes, absolutely!" Ronald replied, glancing at Sean. "How about you, Mr. Smith?""Let's just let things take their course. I was only here for a bit of excitement. It's late, and I'm heading home!" Sean dusted off his clothes as if he had played no part in the recent drama and walked away.On the other side of town, Charles carried Noelle to Sean's private hospital. The staff had been alerted to expect Charles and were waiting outside. When they saw Charles holding a woman, they rushed to greet him. "Mr. Hoffman.""Yes," Charles said as he stepped out of the car with Noelle in his arms and faced the doctor. "She's been bitten by a snake. Please check if all the venom's been removed!"Hearing that, the doctor quickly examined Noelle's wound. "Mr. Hoffman, please lay her down so we can take a closer look!"Noelle's leg
The Cherished Wife Chapter 310
Charles had a doctor check Noelle to confirm that all the poison was out of her system. Only then did he relax.Rowena and Teresa came to visit Noelle the next afternoon. They were not worried because they knew Charles was there, so Noelle's safety was in good hands. They had tried to see Noelle earlier, but Charles insisted she needed her rest, which was a polite way of saying he did not want them to disturb her.Noelle eventually heard about their concern and reassured Rowena and Teresa that she was fine."Wow, Charles was so worried about you!" Rowena exclaimed. "You should have seen him last night, he was so calm."Rowena's eyes sparkled as she exclaimed. "You're so lucky to have such an amazing husband, Noelle!" She sounded so envious.Noelle and Teresa just smiled at each other. They were used to Rowena's dramatics. They watched her go on and on while Teresa opened a thermos. "I brought you some soup," Teresa said gently. "I know you're not really hungry, but you've got to e

Ronald and Lareal snapped to attention. "Mr. Lennon!" they exclaimed.Charles glanced up at Peter. "What are you doing here?"With a sly smile and a quirk of his eyebrow, Peter leaned casually against the door. "I haven't seen you lose your temper like this in years," he said, his eyes hinting at something deeper.Charles scowled at him. "What's your point?"Peter just shrugged. "She's a woman. Don't you think you're being a bit harsh?" He then caught the sharp look in Charles's eyes. "Oh? Seems like you haven't changed since you treated my sister's foster mother the same way three years ago."Peter's expression darkened, and the air around him grew tense. He locked eyes with Charles, and without a word, a fierce showdown began.The two men were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell who would come out on top. Meanwhile, Ronald and Lareal were caught in the middle. They exchanged helpless looks, silently wishing they could just disappear.Finally, Peter let out a disdainful huf
The Cherished Wife Chapter 312
Charles gave Peter a sidelong glance, his brow creasing slightly. Peter narrowed his eyes but decided to leave it at that.Charles finished up his work and hurried to the hospital. Noelle was getting some rest, with her friends Rowena and Teresa sitting quietly by her side. They felt bad about what happened last night. They knew Winter and Annie did not like Noelle, yet they had not been on guard.Noelle was okay, but Rowena could not help thinking that if she had been more careful yesterday, today might have been different.When Noelle started to doze off, Rowena gently pulled on Teresa's arm, and they both slipped out of the room, closing the door softly behind them."What's up?" Teresa asked, seeing the look on Rowena's face. "What's on your mind?"Rowena bit her lip. "Winter and Annie really crossed the line this time. They used a venomous snake! Can you believe it? If Yevgen hadn't come just in time, who knows what might’ve happened to Noelle?" Rowena shivered just thinking a

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2126
Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2124
"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
